Dark chocolate is known to increase blood flow to the brain, decrease inflammation, and provide important minerals that help ward off dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. By the way, don’t worry about its fats contents- mostly monounsaturated and saturated. But still, consume it in moderation.

When it comes to health benefits of chocolate, bitter is better. Cacao in its purest form is bitter and offers all the great health payoffs- enhances sensitivity to insulin and helps lower blood sugar levels. As a result, dark chocolate may lower one’s risk for type 2 diabetes and manage blood sugar levels. So, if you want to enjoy health benefits, consume dark chocolate with 70% or higher levels of cacao.

With medical and antioxidant properties of cacao, there is yet another reason to enjoy chocolate. However, this doesn’t give us permission to indulge in chocolate to our heart’s content.
